General presentation
Metsovo et Pinde
Mountain village of the Pinde, between valacian architecture, cheeses, vineyards of altitude, wooded passes and Greek alpine atmospheres.
Metsovo, Katara and Averoff give the most telling landmarks of Metsovo and Pinde. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: snowy winter possible and mountain roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Town or village
Katara
Katara The area is particularly interesting for those who love the passscapes, the cool mountain breaks and the slow journeys between Epirus and Thessalie. The area is also very interesting for those who love the mountain scenery, the cool mountain breaks and the slow journeys between Epirus and Thessalie.
Town or village
Averoff
